Representation of Azhari Shirazi's Shiite beliefs in the poems of Kamal's treatise

Abstract

This article examines the beliefs and religious beliefs of Bodagh Azhari Shirazi, the 11th century poet, in his poems. Since the ode is a format that the poet uses to explain a conscious subject and a preconceived purpose, devoting most of the odes of the Azhari court to the nobles of religion, especially the Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, certainly reflects his religious and religious thoughts; Therefore, the authors with a descriptive-analytical approach based on Azhari poems and answering these questions, which components of his beliefs are revealed by studying Azhari poems and what methods did the poet use to explain these beliefs? They conclude that under the influence of the formalization of Shiism in the Safavid period, Azhari's expression of religious beliefs had priority over other poetic themes. In 52 odes out of 83 odes of his divan, Azhari has addressed the monotheism, naat, and minqbat of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and the Imams of Athar (pbuh), supplications, and mention of their attributes and miracles; As it can be said, more than two-thirds of Azhari's poems express the poet's Shiite beliefs, and under the influence of these beliefs, his few praise poems were not included in the request. This topic, as well as the manifestation of the peak of the poet's poetic art in his devotional poems, shows the peak of Azhari's sincere devotion to the elders of the religion, and the recognition and spread of Shiism and the beliefs and views of the Safavid kings were very effective on this topic.
